“I have collaborated with Neil on a number of occasions and he has never failed to contribute more than was expected. Where Neil scores is in being a very creative individual who is prepared and able to step beyond the boundaries; he tends not to accept 'impossible' and works to find solutions.

“Neil developed strong strategies to guide our approach on two major bids – city centre shopping complex and high-end residential. His calm demeanour was crucial in galvanising our bid team and his extensive construction knowledge helped challenge our thinking beyond the norm. Neil wrote and edited highly technical responses using a clever combination of persuasive language and plain English to make them easy to understand. I enjoyed working with him and look forward to our future work together.”
